From my experience with such systems (specifically the Vibroy Portable Vibration Speaker from ThinkGeek ( http://www.thinkgeek.com/electronics/portable-audio-video/eaf8/?srp=5 ), which looks awfully familiar *whistle*) – they work the best when attached to a double-layer window. The bass is muffled compared to an empty box, but the sound is far more crisp and clear with no weird halos and echos…

That being said, while I haven’t personally played with it, I know people who swear by X-mini Capsule Speakers ( http://x-mini.com/ ) when it comes to portable boomboxes…

Nokia Play 360 are in stock at Expansys USA but for a whopping $165. Think I’ll wait…

That would be great if you could Jay. These are a bit of an enigma. There is actually very little information available since it was launched around July 2011. I did find a glowing review from the Philippines or somewhere but that was all The amazon user reviews are all pretty positive mind.

Yes the NFC functionality looks top. My missus has got a C7 and I will (eventually) get an N9 so would be ideal then. Even without the NFC feature, they look nice for bluetooth streaming for any phone.

How does it fare against an X-Mini Portable speaker?

I’ve asked Nokia Connects for a review sample We’ll wait to see what they say and if we get one, we’ll demo it here.

In person, they do look really nice, they sound awesome and the way you pair with NFC is incredible.

It doesn’t really vibrate in that sense, just the sound :p

I only referred it as that in the title as it was possibly clearer than ‘conduction’ and it is what other products of that nature is described as.

The very first question which comes into my mind when I see things like this….

Is there a DIY version of that?

I wish I could say the same things for the phones…
